When I'll see a Fiora or Vayne proc their true damage on a squishy more than 3 times without killing them I'll believe you.

Except 10% max health true damage kills squishys literally as fast as it kills tanks...

In 10 hits...

Yea but since a tank typically takes more than 10 hits to kill, and a squishy generally takes less than 10 hits to kill - it is significantly more effective against a tank and less effective against a squishy.

Except 10% is still 10%.

Yes it's technically a smaller amount.

But its no where.near "worthless"

Yea it's not "worthless" but when ANY ability does way more than 10% of said targets health it makes it way less effective.

as an example: squishy: takes 3 seconds to kill. add in any damaging ability doing 10% true damage, still takes about 3 seconds to kill anyway. tank: takes 8 seconds to kill, add in damaging 10% true damage, now takes about 4 seconds to kill.

These are made up numbers, but I believe the main idea of why it's less effective on a squishy vs tank still shows.
